Hi. my name XXXXXX, I am 41 Years of age and have currently had some blood tests from my Endocrinologist. Test I don't know much about is I had a ANA-speckled titre of 160H, Ref range is <80. could you explain this result. Symptoms I am currently experiencing is severe joint pain, muscle pain and weakness, itchy skin and burning eyes. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

W.B.C are protective cells of body and there count is increased in many disorders. So it is also common to find raised W.B.C s in connective tissue disorders.

Decrease in platelets is of more significant rather than increase, so need not to be much worry for it.

In short, all your blood findings also point towards a connective tissue disorder. It is best thing that your disease has been diagnosed early by your doctor, only thing you have to do be in regular follow up with him.
